I always just search for it during baseball season. But this time it kept telling me the event hadn’t started until the top of the 1st was over. (Despite ...

re: LA. Supreme Court Rules in Favor of St. George Incorporators

[quote]The EBRSO provides law enforcement for the entire parish including the City of Baton Rouge.[/quote]
Do they? If I have a burglary in BR can I file a report with EBRSO instead of BRPD?
I understand that they have jurisdiction in the entire parish but that’s not necessarily the same thing a...

[quote]My understanding is that the money for St. George policing essentially stays the same because it won’t have its own police department and will rely on EBRSO. Which it was already paying for.
So BRPD will be LESS funded and EBRSO will stay stagnant no?
So on the basis of staff and polici...

Fair point. I should have said “not that Sid [i]or BR leadership[/i] even want it.”
I’ve said this before - I think having one police department would be a net benefit for the...

It’s really stupid that BR leadership ever let things get to this point. The entire idea of a consolidated city-pa...

Except the St. George boundaries already include most of the land between Perkins and the previous BR city limits..
That includes ...
re: Dear Baton Rouge Folk, Your Traffic Sucks arse
Posted by lostinbr on 4/24/24 at 8:45 pm
[quote]True. But I do think US61 combined with Plank, Scenic, Hooper, 964, etc. do have "good bones" when it comes to routing. They can be upgraded fairly easily. We are far more limited to address the routes west, east, and south without spending a fortune. I-110 is a lot easier to handle than I-10...

[quote]It’s easy to go north, but there’s not nearly as much development north of the city.[/quote]
I don’t even think going north is necessarily “easy.” Scenic Hwy and Plank will both take you out of the city to the north, but to get to either you have to take I-10 to I-110.. which effectively mea...

[quote]If it is not a primary offense, how will they prove you were using your phone?
Will they be able to confiscate your phone at a traffic stop and look through timestamps?[/quote]
The bill specifically says law enforcement officers cannot use this law to seize or search your phone at a traff...

Found the intersection OP used as an example on street view:

He seems to be saying that if:
1. The light on W Esplanade is green,
2. then he turns left and has a red light across the canal

Even that’s a stretch from what I’m reading. Wiki says wolves weighing over 120 lbs are “uncommon” and that average wolves are ~85 lbs. TIFWIW

re: Proof: Technology has made us all dumber

I don’t disagree with the premise that technology is making us dumber, but I’m not sure this example makes a ton of sense. Do y’all think pizza delivery is worse with online ordering?
The only issue I have seen in recent years is that some pizza places haven’t been able to staff enough drivers. ...
